Sculpture: Spare Parts #11 by Paul Martia

Horizontal rods shoot out like a skyline caught in a crosswind.

Spare Parts #11 is a contemporary sculpture by Paul Martia, made of steel, brass and copper. Assemblage sculpture, in which artists build new forms from found or fabricated metal parts, became a major strand of modern art from the mid 20th century onward. Here a tall vertical bar rises from a square steel base. Curved plates, textured gridded panels and long thin rods are welded across it, the rods extending far out to each side. The surfaces are brassy gold with a hammered, rough finish. It is 18 inches wide and 29 high.

Spare parts, but nothing about it feels left over.
